Kathy Yausie, Instructor

Is having a love affair, with yoga! Kathy yoga practice found her over 8 years ago. It was a slow and steady love affair, no spectacular fireworks at first, many love/hate moments (maybe months) along the way that not surprisingly, still surface today.

Yoga found her, captivated her and transformed her. She describes it as feeling, as if she's come home. Deeply embedded in her practice and teaching is mindfulness, inclusiveness, respectfulness and kindness. She embraces self-care, self-compassion and self-love, just as you are. Honouring our individuality, uniqueness and quirkiness.

In addition to yoga Kathy is a lover of family, dogs, exploring the world, her yoga community, giving back to her community, a lifetime learning (including learning about herself) and listening to great yoga music.

Yoga continues to enrich her social work practice and who she is as a person. Her favourite aspects of yoga include linking breath, body and mind, increasing body awareness, being present, looking within, being mindful and learning from my students and teachers- to whom I am forever grateful.
